Question

Pick out the wrong statement.

B VENKAT · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: A
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Plant diversity and characteristics
	**Related Topics**: Plant reproduction, plant classification, plant pigments, plant evolution
	**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of plant groups (gymnosperms, angiosperms, pteridophytes, algae), fertilization, vascular tissues, and photosynthetic pigments.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	Four statements about different plant groups.
	Need to identify the incorrect statement.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Analyze each statement individually.
		Reasoning: Recall the characteristics of each plant group and their evolutionary relationships.
	2. Evaluate the correctness of each statement.
		Working: A. Double fertilization is characteristic of angiosperms (flowering plants), not gymnosperms. Gymnosperms have single fertilization.  Monocots are a subgroup of angiosperms.
		Key Point: This statement is FALSE.
		Working: B. Sequoia is indeed a gymnosperm known for its height. This is TRUE.
		Working: C. Phaeophyceae (brown algae) have chlorophyll a and c, carotenoids and xanthophylls. This is TRUE.
		Working: D. Pteridophytes are the first vascular plants, possessing xylem and phloem. This is TRUE.
	3. Identify the incorrect statement.
		Result: Statement A is incorrect.
		Verification: Based on knowledge of plant biology, statement A is the only false statement.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: This statement is incorrect because double fertilization is a characteristic feature of angiosperms (flowering plants), not gymnosperms and monocots. Gymnosperms undergo single fertilization.
[B] :x: This statement is correct. Sequoias are gymnosperms and are known for being among the tallest trees.
[C] :x: This statement is correct. Phaeophyceae (brown algae) do possess chlorophyll-a, c, carotenoids, and xanthophylls as their photosynthetic pigments.
[D] :x: This statement is correct. Pteridophytes (ferns and their allies) are the first terrestrial plants to have vascular tissues (xylem and phloem).
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing double fertilization in angiosperms with gymnosperms: Remember that double fertilization is a unique characteristic of angiosperms.
		2. Misremembering the characteristics of different plant groups: Review the distinguishing features of major plant groups.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Use mnemonics or diagrams to remember plant characteristics.
		2. Focus on the key differences between major plant groups when studying their traits.

B VENKAT · Answer

The correct Option is "Double fertilization is unique to gymnosperms and monocotyledons"

B VENKAT · Answer

Sequoia, a gymnosperm, is one of the tallest trees

B VENKAT · Answer

Phaeophyceae members possess chlorophyll-a, c, carotenoids and xanthophylls

B VENKAT · Answer

Evolutionarily, pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess xylem and phloem
